- Make the broth: Wrap up the mushroom stems, parsley stems, garlic, thyme, and peppercorns in a square of cheesecloth and set the sachet aside.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally until soft and golden, about 10 minutes.
